Public Liability Insurance for Carpenters & Joiners – From Just £40* a Year

Whether you’re crafting bespoke staircases, installing kitchen units, or fitting oak beams in a listed property, accidents can (and do) happen. That’s why Public Liability Insurance is a must-have for carpenters and joiners. And the good news? At Clarke Williams Insurance Brokers, cover starts from just £40 per year – and that’s with A-rated insurers. But we don’t stop at just a low price. We offer real cover, tailored advice, and personal service – the kind you won’t get from a comparison website.

Why Do Carpenters & Joiners Need Public Liability Insurance?

You work with sharp tools, heavy materials, and often in client homes or busy construction sites. One slip of a chisel or drop of a beam could cause injury or damage – and lead to a costly claim. Public liability insurance protects you against legal and compensation costs if someone gets hurt or property is damaged because of your work.
And with cover starting from only £40 per year, it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.

What Can Be Included?

We know that one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why our policies can be tailored to suit your exact needs, including options such as:

  • Employers’ Liability – if you employ staff or apprentices
  • Tool Cover, including overnight protection in a locked vehicle or site
  • Contract Works and Own Plant cover (on request)
  • Cover for Hot Works – for those using heat or flame as part of their job
